Steven "tuff_fish" Gurney-Goldman: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Andrew "LoveToLose" Porter: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Gurney-Goldman needed a jack after the {10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop paired up Porter, but would be left wanting on the {3-Spades} turn and {a-Spades} river.

The final ten players are in hand-for-hand play for the final table bubble.
